Denizens Of The Deep - In June 1757, according
to the History of Dorset (1774), a mermaid was thrown up on shore between
Portland and Burton. Join us for stories of The Mer People, The Selkies, and
other strange creatures that lived beneath the waves, and perhaps also of
some of those adventurous humans who sailed above the waves, and beneath the
Jolly Roger. Born Lucky - A boy child is born into a poor family, and a wise woman foretells that he is destined to marry a princess. But what will the king say, or do, about that? Join us for stories of those that are born lucky, those that stumble upon it by accident, and those that cannot find it even when it is staring them in the face. |
